EVENT LISTINGS FOR 2019

SATURDAY, APRIL 27TH-- ANNUAL BOWL FOR THE ANIMALS FUNDRAISER: This is year 29 (!) for the annual "Moonlight Scotch Doubles" bowling event that will benefit needy animals in the Jackson area. We will be in the same bowling center, but their new name is "JAX 60." The new owners are looking forward to showing off their improvements to their alleys and helping us to make it another spectacular, fun event. Tickets are just $18.00 for two people to bowl together and can be purchased by calling Nancy at (517)782-0613. If you would like to earn a FREE TICKET, all you need to do is sell 11 tickets and we will give you ticket #12 FREE! We'll have lots and lots of door prizes for the bowlers to win and of course we will have our very popular 50/50 drawings and some wonderful raffle prizes available for the winners. Your $18 covers bowling three games (Scotch Doubles is where two people share the game by one person throwing the first ball and the other person throwing the second ball.) as well as the opportunity to win a door prize, Mystery Game and/or Strike Pot. Our 50/50 jackpots always grow to large amounts (last year we gave our winners a total of $860.00) and tickets are only $1 each or 9 for $5. Each year we are also very fortunate to have super prizes donated to our nonprofit that we use for raffle prize packages. Five lucky winners go home with valuable gifts from those drawings. If you would like to donate a tax deductible gift to be used for a raffle prize or door prize, purchase a lane sponsorship for $100 or more, bowl, or volunteer to help at our event, please call Nancy at the number above.Our bowling event is not a tournament and is for beginner and experienced bowlers 16 years and older who may participate.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------EVENT LISTINGS FOR 2018Our annual Craft-A-Rama event (more information below) took place on a beautiful, warm and sunny day on Oct. 14th. While 75 degree weather isn't usually good for an indoor Fall show (many people take advantage of one of the last warm days to accomplish other things) we still had a good turnout of shoppers for our event. While the attendance was a bit lower than expected, our shoppers enjoyed the great variety of items offered by our vendors and many left the show with bags of goodies that they purchased. A lot of vendors have already paid ahead for the show next year, with more applications on the way. Our next Craft-A-Rama juried arts and crafts show at the fairgrounds will be held on Sunday, Oct. 13th. We look forward to hosting another terrific event in 2019. Thanks to all who participated.

(That means they have to submit photos of their work and be approved to be accepted.) A wide variety of quality arts and crafts will be on display by the exhibitor's and for sale to the public.

For more information, please call Nancy at (517) 782-0613. After 4 PM is best. Please plan to spend the day with us as you browse and shop for yourself or others. We hope to see you there! NOTE: Just because this event is being sponsored by Friends Of The Animals, it does not mean that the exhibitors will only have items for dogs and cats! We'll have a wonderful array of items for sale from stained glass, decorative painting, quilted items, handmade soap, fresh local honey, woodworking, hats, scarves, and mittens, jewelry, purses and totes, yard art, Fall and Holiday items, wreaths, Halloween and Christmas decorations and much, much more.

SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 13TH: 1ST ANNUAL GOLF OUTING TO BENEFIT THE JACKSON COUNTY ANIMAL SHELTER. Three very dedicated volunteers for our local animal shelter (Denise Baughman, Brenda LaChapelle, and Lori Suomala) decided that they wanted to organize a golfing fundraiser for the animals. After conversations with Friends members it was decided that since we had a lot of experience running fundraisers (one of our board members has organized 16 golf fundraisers locally in the past) and since we had non profit status, it made sense for us to partner with them. We're now pleased to announce our 1st annual "Friends" golf outing which will be held at Ella Sharp Golf Course on Saturday, Sept. 13th. More information will be posted here in the near future but if you would like to sign up a foursome, purchase a hole sponsor, or donate to this event now, please contact Brenda at (517) 206-7285. Sponsorships and donations are made payable to Friends Of The Animals and are tax deductible. Please refer back to this listing for more complete details as it becomes available.
